Wow some great pics here. Here's a couple I took recently. M9 + 35/1.2 wide open

Here's a series I did with a Little Panasonic compact in Cannes during the film festival

Hey Rob, I thought about you and this thread after I got my first look at the scan 😀

Ugggh... mannequin shots. Not worth wasting a frame on. No offense. Not my taste.

Same could be said for just about any subject, except maybe our loved ones, where all photos have a certain value.

Having said that, if I, and people like me did not waste film, there would barely be a market for it. If we only shot the keepers, the market would likely shrink to 1/36th of what it is now.

WAY funny!

WAY funny!

Normally I don't quote pix but this one bears repeating, primarily because it makes me laugh AND because this thread is so long that people may not get back to the original . . . I don't know which face is weirdest here.

Delightful frozen moment!

Just last month I found these ladies. Minolta autocord with Tmax 400.

Some excellent shots in this thread. Personally, I think there's something quite magical about mannequins, particularly those in shop windows. I think I may have posted these images in another thread, they were inspired by the work of Eugene Atget...

Sikario, I particularly like your composition for #3; he seems to be emerging from the brick wall and you framed his head so it looks solid. Also the chiaroscuro effect draws our eyes right there.
